We will take 60 minutes for this task. You are to look through the various web sites to locate something of use in the classroom -- real or imaginary. Consider how you might use the web site or adapt something found at the web site to meet your needs. Be prepared to discuss your findings with the class. You may choose to discuss your topic either verbally, using PPT or Impress, a word processor, or any combination with which you are comfortable.
